It's Time to Lose this weight

A couple of years ago (before Gracie) I lost 30 lbs. by working out and eating right. Since I've had her, my habits have just gone down the drain because I don't know how to fit it all in. But, its time to lose all this weight, it's pretty sad that I am 8 lbs heavier than what I was when I left the hospital. Johnson County has this challenge called "Dump Your Plump" they challenge local organizations and workers to form teams and lose weight. I did this 2 years ago and lost 18 lbs in 10 weeks and won $400. So, I got an email again the other day and I sent it to my co-workers at school. So many people wanted to join that we have to make 2 teams. I'm excited! I know I won't lose as much as last time because I don' t have an hour to work-out every night, but at least I'm challenging myself to something. It starts on the 7th, so I better enjoy my food this weekend :) Then it goes all the way until the week before Thanksgiving-just in time to put a little back on with the holidays! Hopefully this will get me motivated to keep going...wish me luck!

Good luck Natalie! I need to join and do it too, I know it has only been 7 weeks since Brynn was born but I am ready to wear regular clothes again!
